Callum Hudson-Odoi will be given permission to leave Chelsea in the January window, on one condition.
According to the Evening Standard, the promising younger winger is free to leave on loan but only if he agrees to a new deal at the club first.
It has become common practice for Chelsea to get their young players tied down to long-term contracts before allowing them to leave on loan.
Hudson-Odoi has failed to break into Maurizio Sarri’s plans this season and is being tipped to leave the club on loan in the new year.
The Chelsea head coach talked up the player’s chances during pre-season, revealing the club would not send him out on loan, but instead, he would get chances in the first-team squad.
Said chances never arrived and many are questioning the decision to not let him leave the club in the summer, something that could come back to haunt Chelsea, with the player still in two minds over whether or not to sign a new contract at Stamford Bridge.
